The Atkins Diet is, by design, low in carbohydrate intake. Because of this, ingested fat will be utilized for energy once the body runs out of carbohydrate/glycogen stores. Fat cannot be converted into sugar in vivo to any appreciable extent, and since some organs (such as the brain) require sugar to function, they will switch to utilizing incomplete products of fat metabolism known as ketone bodies. Once ingested fat is used up, the body will begin converting stored bodyfat into ketone bodies for energy.
